Now in paperback, a powerful, thought-provoking, and heartfelt look at what it takes (and takes and takes) for two Black students to succeed in prestigious academic institutions in America.
Set in two time periods, two Black students confront systemic racism and challenge societal expectations at their prestigious schools, as Kevin navigates the aftermath of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination in 1965 and Gibran challenges his school's "see no color" hypocrisy in 1995.
